    Your error is pretty common, get used to looking at the line before the error when you can't find it in the error.  your problem here is that line 2 is missing a right parenthesis at the end of it.

    Hi all;

    I'm trying to learn things, working through a programmer's tutorial,and
    I'm stuck trying to make this work.  Compiler says that line 3 is not
    good:

    compile
    #110:do_the_work not compiled because:
      Line 3:  syntax error

      1: if (this.wound)
      2:    if ($object_utils:isa(this.location,$room)
    __3_      this.location:announce_all(this.name," ",this:continue_msg());
    ^^4^     this.wound = this.wound - 1;
      5:     if (this.wound)
      6:       fork (15)
      7:         this:do_the_work();
      8:       endfork
      9:     else
     10:       this.location:announce_all(this.name, " ",
    this:wind_down_msg());
     11:     endif
     12:   endif
     13:   if (this.wound < 0)
     14:      this.wound=0;
     15:   endif
     16: endif

    Now, this is exactly what is in the tutorial, so I can't even guess at
    how I might get through learning this to get onto the next phase.  Any
    help, or any other tutorial document references would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance, and apologies for the newbie bandwidth waste,

    Jason
